The Chinese use a handsome little water
pipe made entirely of brass or silver. 1t
is all in one piece except the bowl and
neck, which is merely tube with an
upper chamber for the tobacco. The
merest pinch Of long cut tobacco fills the
bowl. and one filling is only expected to
provide one OF two whiffs. The body of
the pipe contains a neat compartment for
tobacco. The long clawlike nails of the
Celestial are used in reaching in this little
box for a pinch of tobacco as @eftly rs a
pair of tweezers. Long strips of prepared
paper are used for lighting. This paper
burns slowly, and when required for
lighting the pipe is blown into flame by
peculiar puff. Any Celestial man,
woman or child can produce this flame
with single puff. but n European ac-
quires the same ability only by considera-
BILE practice. As each filling produces
only couple of putfs, the pipe has TO lie
refilled over and over again to obtain sat
isfaction. Every time n pinch is smoked
the remnant is blown out by lifting the
tube and blowing vigorously through it
from the lower end. The rapidity with
which dcvotee of this pipe fills it, puffs
the paper into flame, lights the tobacco,
blows the paper out again, lifts the tube,
blows out the refuse, fills it again, etc, is
quite remarkable performance. The
common Chinaman uses pipe of primi-
tive pattern. merely a slender point Of
bamboo, with hole bored in the side
near the closed end. A pinch Of tobacco
is laid on this hole. affOrding one or two
whifIs.-Thomas Stevens Letter.

SO, 10 bankrupt miner there was little

despised ''greasers'' ard ''diggerS." The
curse of degradation which the negroes

Insuring the Aged.

The prudential companies insure grand
fathers and grandmothers as well as the
little ones on the weekly payment plan.
Ia this case the premium Is almost in
variably paid by the sons and daughters
nf the old folks, many having families Of
their OWL. and insuring their own chill
dren rs well As their parents. 80 that in
some tenement households il is not un
common for an agent to collect the pre-
MUM On the life of a baby and that of a
grandmother at the same time. But the
amount of the premium is not the same.
The limit of age in the table before me i
20 years. In the case Of a person of 10
years the five cent payment only secures
a triile-GO cents. For weekly payment
Of - cents, however. a person Of 10 years
is allowed 500, and for 30 cents per week
he or she secures $500. At 10 years the
payment is $500 for - cents per week and
800 for 80 cents. At 80 Years il is Sl2U
for 2j cents and $40 for 30 cents, and at
- years il is S65 for the smaller and $50
for the larger sum.
In the case of the old folks rs well as
the children, the object generally is Ia Sc
cure enough money at death 10 pay the
funeral expenses This is not speculation,
ike the graveyard insurance that has
fiourished in many places. Ii is merely
prudential provision for the day when the
undertaken will surely call. If anything
remains over when ne is paid, 81 much the
better; it is sure To be needed. Pruden
tial insurance i in many respects a very
good thing. The objections to it are
chiefly sentimental. and mere sentiment is
always more likely to hinder than help in
the struggle of life. Our German friends
seem Ia have less of it than most others,
which partly accounts for their greater
readiness To insure life as well as their
property.-New York Cor. Detroit Free

The white settlers. cowboys, prospectors
and Adventures are perhaps largely, If not
wholly, responsible for the recent Ute out
break. The Indians are regarded as spe-
cies of wild beast, to be imposed upon and
shot down. They are the original settlers
and are entitled to certain considerations.
The greed of the cowboy has probably led
him to overstep his rights in the premises
and crowd his herds into the Indian do
main. which arouses the savage TO strike
for revenge, and he does.
OF course the United States must pro
lect the settlers against the attacks OF these
savage Utes, but the cowboy or sdrenturer
who precipitated the trouble should also
come within the line of punishment II is
hardly probable that the outbreak is with
ont proyocation.

Unhapplly, it pays, in coin, to abuse
Not that philanthropy doesn't pay; it
pays, as everybody knows, q per cent. I
believe there is not case on record of
good tenements that are not good in
vestment rs well as a blessing. But bad
tenements pay more; pay so well that it is
rumored that rich gentlemen and organi-
cations cannot always resist the tempta-
ton to invest iii them. l am told that
some of the worst tenements pay 20 per
cent, because the landlord can crowd his
tenants in them, refuse to make repairs
and need hire no janitor or agent. The
great guns Of public opinion are being
slowly turned toward this great evil, and
assuredly will destroy it in time. The
press ought to begin by publishing list

shoes whenever necessity compels them TO

more comfortable and durable than kid
boots. In order to make n respectable
appearance at the hotel, they hail the

The young lady in question puts one
dainty looking foot on the box, tucks up
her skirts, leans her back against the side
OF one Of the bath houses, and appears as
unconscious about the matter as if she
had been used to it all her life. When
the ordeal is over the boy taps his box,
receives a dime for his work, and the

men with as much coolness and composure
as an old war veteran.-Cape May Cor.
